by fnovelpia“Kwaaa!!”
“… Golem?”
Boss room.
The wall distorted into a giant face, and giant hands protruded from both walls.
“You barbaric warriors. I, Girgantes, will punish you personally!”
A pre-recorded voice rings out from the ceiling.
I once again realized the scale of the training center. Where can such a dungeon be designed and experienced safely?
There are probably only a few places on the continent.
My student and I stood side by side in front of the realistic boss.
If you just defeat that, the dungeon will end. I felt like I didn’t want to kill it too quickly because it was kind of disappointing.
I just want to be with my student like this.
Take a peek.
I looked at my disciple.
What are you thinking?
There is no sign of fear at all, and it is just staring blankly at the golem.
“Die!!”
Just then, the golem strikes its hand.
To where the disciple is.
Far + big cut.
Self-made!!!!
Kwagwagwagwak!!!
Not only did the golem’s arm disintegrate in an instant, but the wind blew the golem away as well.
Kugugu… .
I inadvertently gave more strength to it because it looked so real. Thanks to this, the walls of the labyrinth could not withstand the durability and were greatly damaged.
I’m sure the next person will recycle it, so I wonder if this will be okay… .
“… Wow.”
The disciple’s admiration.
He looks surprised at my strength.
Since my guard has relaxed a little, my thoughts are showing on my face like that.
Anyway, my disciple knows that I killed the devil. There is no need to conserve or hide your strength.
[congratulations. Cleared the dungeon. The score earned by the warrior is 21000 points. Please receive a ticket from the waiting instructor.]
End of dungeon.
After we face each other.
“… Eggplant.”
“Yes.”
We escaped the labyrinth together.
*
A way out of the labyrinth.
“How do you get this score?… .”
“Thank you~”
An instructor muttered absently and held out several tickets.
Adding up the numbers, the total was 21,000 points.
You can exchange prizes with this.
I handed over everything to my disciple.
“Take my score.”
“You don’t need it?”
Something like a numbers game.
If you can build goodwill through this, it is absolutely no loss.
“It’s cumbersome to hold. Take it all.”
In “… Then I’ll take it first. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Was my sincerity conveyed? The disciple did not refuse and took the ticket.
Afterwards, I came out of the labyrinth.
The exit was directly opposite the entrance, so it was scattered. No, it was so scattered that no one was there.
“Huh? Has anyone come out yet?”
They said they could go in as soon as the festival started, but of course, the people who were supposed to be there weren’t there.
Astradic.
Lapis.
Fiona.
Aleph.
There are none.
“He definitely got in before me, so why isn’t he there?… .”
The disciple swallowing his doubts.
Just then, I heard Andrew’s voice in my ear.
[I’m the one who gathered all of Ronika’s friends! Now, please persuade me well and you two can have a good time!~]
At first glance, I could sense the presence of Andrew and Goliath knights hiding nearby and watching. He must be planning on following us around.
We are willing to accept this kind of surveillance only if it helps.
But what should I do now?
How should I lead you to the path you want?
I looked at my student who was still assessing the situation.
*
Confusing.
I thought it would be a pity because I knew that if I left the labyrinth and joined my friends, I would break up with the man… .
No one is here!?
Of course I thought they would be waiting first, but where has everyone gone?
Have you abandoned me?
But they’re not like that… .
“Is something going on?”
The man looks at me.
I answered first.
“There were friends I was with… I think he went first. They’re not like that, so what happened?”
Then the man responded as if he had been waiting.
“… Well, then why don’t you come with me!”
But the tone of speech became awkward again.
He looks nervous.
why?
But before I could question his attitude, I too was struck by a strange feeling.
Let’s go together?
So what about the two of you?
Celebrating a festival together?
why!?
“Uh… that is… … .”
My mouth doesn’t come off easily.
He must be making an unsightly expression.
I thought I felt more comfortable now that I was able to speak, but as soon as I heard those words, I was back to normal for the first time.
I need to find a friend… .
I decided to be on guard… .
I would like to accept that offer.
I want to know more about men.
However, seeing my embarrassed appearance, the man was shocked and hastily corrected his words.
“My, what I mean is, let’s find it together. If you walk around, you might be able to meet them. Even if not, he’s probably having a good time somewhere.”
An attitude of making excuses.
Suspicious.
Why did you approach me?
What else is hidden from me?
Moreover, it was the first time we had spoken. It would definitely be right to be cautious and refuse… .
Is there really a need to dig into it?
Now, I… .
I want this.
Just like the day we first met
Like the day that changed my life forever.
This time too, I wanted to trust that intuition.
It’s sad that my friends are gone, but if I’m lucky, I’ll wander around and meet them again.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it matter?
Let’s think again.
If you have to be on guard, wouldn’t it be right to keep it next to you? Because that way you can know more!
Everything is still suspicious.
We need to know more!!
“… Good.”
So I agreed.
Let’s go together.
*
Forest road.
A full-fledged festival venue.
My disciple and I entered there.
There was a lot of noise around us, but it seemed to mask our awkwardness, so it wasn’t a bad thing.
A situation where we are just walking together.
What should I say?
For a moment, I thought of the manual Andrew gave me.
1. Get started talking through games.
There is a need to erase the awkwardness by playing and develop the relationship.
“Look at the map over there and go.”
“Ah, yes.”
Huge signs in the middle of the road.
It was a map specifically for the festival that recorded the location and time of which merchants were located and which performances were held.
We made our way through the crowd and stood in front of it.
I found the name of the place that Andro had told me about, quickly put it into my head, and pointed to one place.
“How about going there first?”
“Archery game? The prize is a doll… good. Since we don’t have a set purpose anyway, let’s go.”
The disciple followed without saying anything.
With this, the first destination was decided.
There were so many people that I missed Andro’s presence, but he would follow me from somewhere and continue to help me. Then be bolder.
chuck.
I walked side by side with my disciple.
*
“Welcome~”
“Take a look at this!”
“The performance starts in 30 minutes. Please take a look at the poster and come if you are interested.”
Murmur.
A noisy street.
Both sides of the crowded road were filled with stalls, tents, and various attractions and promotional materials, so my eyes were not bored.
But why… .
Ah, I can’t see anything… .
I was simply conscious of walking together, but I couldn’t see the festival.
Oh, the beautiful forest path too.
The sound of excited people talking.
There are also mysterious items brought in from abroad.
There’s also a bard’s song playing on one side.
It passes by your eyes and goes out through your ears.
“I think we’re all there.”
“Oh… .”
When I come to my senses, I arrive at my destination and a man is looking down at me.
… ah.
handsome.
no. What are you thinking now!?… .
The two eyes met like that.
Two trembling eyes.
Are my eyes shaking?
Are that man’s eyes opening?
what.
… both?
Are we nervous about each other?… .
why?
why?
Still a confused companion.
Am I truly wary of men?
Did she really feel that way when she accompanied the man?
A man who resembles a black man.
But he is a very suspicious man.
A strong man who defeated the devil and a person who stays at the training camp for the sake of the cadets he cares about. Then wouldn’t it be normal to be by the side of that beloved student?
Who is the cadet who said he was the only man he could not win?
Why why… .
What is this feeling now?
jealousy?
“Welcome~! Would you two like to take on the challenge?”
Jang Sa-chi, who was waiting at the destination, came out and greeted me with a friendly smile.
I looked at the store.
There was an archery range with a tent with a picture of a cat with bat wings and a scarecrow with a target posted in the empty lot next to it.
Also, dolls on display were seen inside the tent, and products that looked exactly like the pictures on the tent were also seen.
For some reason, a smile blooms.
Illustration of a black cat in a tent.
A doll product that looks exactly like the picture.
A black cat with bat wings around its neck reminds us of something most precious.
“Negro… .”
*
“Negro… .”
Startle!!
I was startled and looked at my disciple.
Could it be that he called me? With just one word, my heart flutters and becomes hot.
If we get caught like this, won’t everything be over?
But how did they find out?
Regardless of the fact that his rank is steadily disappearing, his Love Heart skill has been sealed.
Then you wouldn’t have been able to read minds… .
“… Cute.”
Fortunately, the disciple’s eyes stayed on the cat picture drawn on the tent. It was a picture that resembled my phantom beast.
Was it because of that?
‘Whoa.’
If so, good luck.
I swept my chest.
After all, you are my disciple.
Who could surprise me like this?
“ Instead of looking around here, go inside and see for yourself. We will serve you at a special price.”
The business leads us inside.
“Pandang 2 will be Cooper. step! Since there are two of you, I’ll give you a couple’s set, 5 times each for 15 Cooper. If you hit all 10 shots, you will receive an additional prize for your lover.”
“Big, couple?… … .”
Ronika opened her eyes wide.
A look of embarrassment.
He glances up at me.
Of course we don’t have that kind of relationship. They were always a caring family member, but now they are strangers.
They were a couple in the first place.
I have never had such affection for a student.
In my past life, I never met the right lover in my life, never thought I would, and I just fought until the end and died.
They don’t fit in, and the disciple is still a child.
You can’t commit such a heinous act.
Moreover, if you made a hasty deal with him saying something like this, your disciple would feel very burdened.
I opened my mouth to refuse.
“Just 10 calculations-”
“Couple set!!”
*
“Couple set!!”
… what.
I said this?
I’m thinking of buying it as a couple set.
why?
Because you don’t care?
For a frugal consumption lifestyle?
Or unconsciously… … .
Swish.
I shook my head.
It’s all commercial. There is no need to attach much significance to this. Therefore, I spoke as if making an excuse to the man who was looking at me quizzically.
“Well, if you’re going to do it anyway, it’s better to do it cheaper!”
*
The face of the disciple who said this had strangely turned red.
… Is it hot?
or not… … .
No way.
It’s a little frustrating because I can’t understand my heart.
First, I nodded.
“Do it as a couple set.”
“Uh, yes.”
It doesn’t matter to me.
Because it’s cheaper and there are additional products.
Also, it’s just a couple’s words, and it’s just a merchant’s trick to attract more customers.
The disciple must have noticed that too.
“Thank you!~ Then, please come here and raise your bow.”
The merchant guided us to the archery range next to the tent.
A toy bow whose power has been significantly weakened.
An arrow made to stick to the target.
It’s a bow that children will enjoy playing with when given to them.
“Hit the target and record a high score to win better prizes! Now, when you’re ready, shoot the target.”
I lifted my bow one by one.
Andrew had written in the manual that he should win the prize and give it to Ronica as a gift.
So, what kind of doll does your student like?
Fortunately, I confirmed that I was staring intently at the black cat doll with bat wings. If that were the case, wouldn’t my student like it too?
I haven’t confirmed the number of points needed to obtain it, but if you hit everything, you will get it.
Tup.
Squeak~
I pulled the bowstring.
20m to target.
The power of the bow itself is weak, so it is difficult to hit the target, and I have never shot a bow before, but it is not a big problem. If you fight a lot, you will gain a unique fighting sense.
For example, if I shoot this bow and where and how the arrow will fly.
How much power is inherent in this bow itself?
It’s all pictured in my mind.
Even if you fail, you can just raise the wind yourself and make adjustments.
So now take your bow-
Phew!!
The sound of an arrow hitting the target was heard.
Without hesitation, my disciple fired the bow before me.
The result is 6 out of 10.
For a first time, it felt pretty good.
“Ugh… It’s harder than it looks.”
“It was quite good.”
This time it’s my turn.
I aimed at the target again.
launch.
Phew!!!
You don’t even need to see where it hits. I loaded the next arrow and shot it right away.
Phew!!
Phew!!
Phew!!
Phew!!
A total of five shots.
I hit the red spot where it says 10 points in total.
“Wow, wow!! Total 10!!?”
“Gasp!? Sir, are you an archer? I never thought it would shoot this well… … .”
The disciple’s respectful eyes.
It tickles.
Feeling intoxicated by something.
It was so fun to see people being purely surprised and amazed.
It wasn’t just a useless thing.
Andro was right.
I am feeling joy.
then… Do you feel the same way as me?
*
Phew!!
“Ahh!!… .”
1 point.
All the men scored 10 points, but I didn’t have that talent.
Why are you flying there?!
6 points.
8 points.
2 points.
10 points.
1 point.
Of course, the last one is 1 point.
When I got 10 points right, the feeling of jumping up and down immediately subsided.
30 points for products resembling black people.
In other words, points cannot be exchanged now.
‘It’s a shame… .’
Other dolls don’t even catch my eye.
I want to show it to the nigger.
After all, pay money and try again-
“I want that.”
“Yay~ Here it is.”
“Ugh… .“
My hands move freely.
A man took the doll I had been eyeing.
There are other dolls next to me, but I was coveting that doll because it was the best made… Unfortunately, it was taken away.
This way there is no need to do more.
I didn’t necessarily want to get another product.
So here we are… .
“Take it.”
“Huh?… … ”
The man held out a doll.
Then he lightly blurted out a word.
“I don’t need it. I think this doll is cute, so I want you to have it.”
“… … … .”
A doll flutters before my eyes. At the same time, I find myself stretching out my hands as I please.
why.
why.
I need to be on guard.
We have to be on guard!!… .
width.
I accepted the doll.
